Taking Notes

I got into a habit some time ago, not a bad one - before you start to worry.

I started carrying a notebook and pen everywhere with me if I left the house.

It used to be just a pen, but after a while you tend to run out of space on the back of your hand to scribble down ideas and if you start scrawling on your own arm people start giving you strange looks (and a wide berth!).

The reason of course is because you never know when an idea is going to strike and if you don't scibble it down when you have the chance the odds are good that you'll have forgotten by the time you get home.

So I went through my notebooks, looking for the ideas that relate to the chap books I'm working on. And I had over a thousand words worth of scribble that was for three stories.

Now that's not bad going at all.
